Next, you will drive to Monreale, on a hill behind Palermo, to visit the cathedral, one of the most splendid churches in the world, and the most important Norman building in Sicily. The interior glows with mosaics recounting the whole Bible, completed for William II in 1182 using 2,200kg of pure gold. The peaceful cloister next door, has arches supported by 228 marble columns with finely-carved capitals. Proceed to the Capuchin Monastery to visit the famous, gruesome Catacombs, with thousands of mummified corpses hanging from the walls in the dimly-lit passages. The Capuchin monks were specialised in this activity, which was much requested by families when their relatives died. Time for shopping before returning to your ship
